Under appropriate conditions, we show that the game has a value and construct a saddle pair of optimal control and stopping strategies. Crucial in this construction is a characterization of saddle pairs in terms of pathwise and martingale properties of suitable quantities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-08-27T09:01:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "93E20", "60G40", "91A15", "91A25", "60G44" ], "keywords": [ "martingale approach", "studying continuous-time stochastic differential games", "saddle pair", "martingale properties", "optimal control" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0808.3656K" } } }
